Raqqa catastrophe result of US inhumane mission: Russian official

What is claimed as repeated “mistakes” by the US troops in Syrian city of Raqqa has led to death of thousands of civilians during the airstrikes.

The occupied lands of Raqqa have been targeted by the US air force in a claimed operation against terrorist militants. As Oleg Syromolotov, Supervisor of counterterrorism cooperation with other nations on behalf of the Russian Foreign Ministry, says, the kind and effect of US-led coalition operation in Syria differs basically from Russia and Syrian government mission.

Russia’s operations in Syria has got a humanitarian nature having been coincided with providing aides for the residents trying to evacuate any zone of the civilians before military intervention. This is while the Americans excuse themselves for killing the civilians by calling it a normal part of war. Mr. Syromolotov further explained that the liberation mission of Mosul did not go through the same disastrous process:

We are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe in Raqqa as we previously did in Mosul [in Iraq]. It was caused by a lack of effective effort to deliver humanitarian aid and create corridors for the evacuation of civilian population, as well as persistent mistakes of the US Air Force, including airstrikes targeting civilian sites.

The US troops were also accused by the Russians of providing supports for the ISIS forces in Deir ez-Zor province, the last major stronghold of terrorists in Syria. Multiple documents had formerly confirmed the role of America in foundation of ISIS in early 2010s.

Syrian government recurrently complained about the US illegal operations in Syria and asked international communities to hinder the continuation of these strikes. “The most imminent task for the international community is to eradicate ISIL and other UN-designated terrorist organizations, including Jabhat Al-Nusra, regardless of what rebranding this Al-Qaeda offshoot uses to hide. The issue here is not only the resources this ‘terrorism international’ has in its own right,” Mr. Syromolotov also asserted.

ISIS have suffered recurrent defeats by the joint operations of Iran, Russia and Syrian government. The continuation of the war is what the US needs to guarantee its presence in the region and control over its countries.
